Nighttime Flounder Gigging with Knot EZ Charters
If you love fishing and want to try something different and a lot of fun, Knot EZ Charters in Pass Christian, MS, offers fishermen the chance to go gigging for flounder.
But what is gigging? Gigging is a method of catching fish like flounder using a long pole with a multi-pronged spear at the end. It is called a gig, thus the name of this fun activity, gigging. It is like spearfishing only you are not in the water, you are wading through it. Think of It as a combination of fishing and hunting.
Captain John Powell is the owner and professional guide who has been fishing the waters of the Gulf Coast for his whole life and will take you on your exciting gigging experience. He will bring you to the shallow waters where you can target fish.
Gigging is a nighttime activity. Trips start before sunset. The boat has a bright spotlight that your guide will shine into the shallow water as you glide through the coastal flats. The light will make it easy to spot the camouflaged flounder resting on the bottom. Once a fish is seen, the gig is thrown to spear the fish.
This is a unique technique that few get to experience. The feeling of pure adrenaline you get when you plunge that spear into the water and connect with the flounder buried in the sand or mud is like nothing you have ever experienced and Captain John is one of the best in the area and knows exactly where to go to get you hunting and bringing fish into the boat.
